Jim Brown will receive the Russ Smith Community Impact Award, which is presented to an individual who demonstrates exceptional local impact on wrestling in Iowa.
In 2009, Brown began what became Tickets for Kids when he purchased tickets to University of Iowa matches and donated them to youth wrestling clubs, middle school teams and youth organizations. A year later he expanded the program to include the NWCA National Duals and the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships. By 2016, Brown's generosity had given more than 7,500 young people the opportunity to attend dozens of college matches and major tournaments, including the 2016 Olympic Trials in Iowa City. The program was renamed Wrestling for Life in 2012, a change that inspired additional services to further the mission of encouraging and keeping youth involved in wrestling, including awarding scholarships to camps and clinics.
The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum is a non-profit organization based out of Waterloo, Iowa. The mission of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame is to preserve history, recognize excellence, and inspire future generations.
